The Trump campaign is targeting Mark Cuban for "extremely insulting" remarks about women who back Donald Trump. They demand Vice President Kamala Harris to "immediately condemn" what he said.
Cuban made his comments on ABC’s "The View." He stated, "Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They're intimidating to him. He doesn't like to be challenged by them."
Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, hit back hard. She told Fox News Digital, "Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage, and now Kamala’s top surrogate Mark Cuban insinuated female Trump supporters are ‘weak and dumb.’"
Leavitt continued, "This is extremely insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump and the tens of millions of women who are voting for him. These women are mothers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders."
She noted, "They are, indeed, strong and intelligent, despite what Mark Cuban and Kamala Harris say." Leavitt criticized the Harris campaign for replacing joy with division and disrespect toward Trump supporters.
"Women want a president who will secure our border, remove violent criminals from our neighborhoods, and put more money in our pockets," Leavitt emphasized. "That’s exactly why we are supporting President Trump."
The Harris campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. This incident follows President Biden's apparent comment referring to Trump supporters as "garbage."
Trump telling the story of the garbage truck and the orange vest on stage is absolutely hilarious. He’s a billionaire with the instincts and timing of a standup comedian. He’s 100% American made. pic.twitter.com/zEnVOAzhcU

During a Zoom call with Voto Latino, Biden said, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," referencing a Trump rally remark by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
In response, Trump showcased a "Make America Great Again" garbage truck at a rally in Wisconsin. "He called them garbage — and they mean it," Trump declared, insisting his supporters are of "far higher quality" than Biden and Harris.
Trump's message to Biden and Harris was clear: "You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans. And you can’t be president if you hate the American people, and there’s a lot of hatred there."
